From my Christmas 2020 sentiments: This year, Ignorance and Want are not mere wastrel wretches clinging to the ankles of a Christmas spirit,^†^ rather they are massive kaiju, towering over us all, with a fell, desiccating breath and a petrifying gaze brought fully to bare. And as I write they thunder across the countryside razing human civilization like Godzilla leveling Tokyo.
